A new easter egg has surfaced in the Tesla Model 3 that pulls up a design sketch of the car. The easter egg can be conjured by tapping the Tesla T from the main screen to pull up the “About Your Tesla” screen.

I’ve only had a couple of marketing courses, but I seem to remember a huge problem in sales is people are 99% ready to buy, but are just not quite ready to pull the trigger. If you give them a reason to decide, some will decide to buy, some will decide to wait, but you will at least get some of the people off the fence to pay the bills.
Another week, another long list of extremely popular Tesla stories, with a handful of other cleantech pieces sprinkled in. As a reminder, we primarily publish non-Tesla articles. Nonetheless, Tesla stories dominate our top 20 list week after week. If we just wanted to get more views, we’d chase Tesla stories night and day.
